Infuse a serious pop of color with a bold overcoat, to-die-for accessories and killer shoes. Wear an animal-printed scarf or a patterned overcoat to put a little WOW into your fashion palette.

Step 2 -Leave a little sexy to the imagination.

Forgo midriff-baring tops and thong-revealing jeans for sheath dresses that hug you in all of the right places. Pick one place on your body–that you dare to bare— and flaunt it with a style that is sexy, but never slutty.

Step 3 – Channel Coco.

Mademoiselle Coco Chanel celebrated bold accessories and made the use of a signature scent mandatory. Express your fearlessness and your femininity with large bangles, statement costume jewelry and perfume that drives men wild.

Step 4 – Use lingerie to explore your fashion opposite.

Is your style type classic, but you long for bold avant-garde style? Select lacy and racy lingerie that you can wear under your prim and proper clothes. Mix up your style profile and take a trip on the wild side with underwear that only you, or your lover, can appreciate.

Teen and tween fashion belong on Disney stars and anyone under the age of 18. No elegant woman over the age of 20 should be dressed in the same items of clothing that your children, nieces or grandchildren covet.

Eliminate micro-minis as wardrobe choices, beyond the age of 25. Before you mention Tina Turner and Cher as exceptions to the rule, these entertainers have a phalanx of plastic surgeons and beauty magicians who can fight aging and eliminate any cellulite, age spots, stretch marks from their legs, instantly.

Follow these 40 and fabulous fashion tips and I promise you will receive more compliments.

You are now the woman who knows how to hold the spotlight, without fighting any other worthy female fashion adversaries for her time to shine.
